The clock is ticking — just a few days until the Springsteen fan doc “Springsteen & I” opens in cinemas around the world, and we can all be reassured that we’re not crazy. (Or if we are, that there are even more people sharing our craziness than we think.)

To get ready for the release, the producers are plugging what they’re calling their “Springstream” — “a real-time showcase for all things Springsteen as they happen on the social web.” And to entice you, they’re giving away front-row tix to Bruce’s Cardiff show, complete with travel! Details:

We’re giving one of you the chance to win front row tickets to see Bruce in Cardiff on July 23, including access to the Pit and the E Street lounge before the show, travel and accommodation. All you have to do is post a Tweet, Instagram or Vine telling or showing us what Bruce means to you with the hashtags #SpringsteenAndI #In3Words, then register here including details of where we can find your post.

By “here,” they mean here — enter today and start hashtagging! Meanwhile, Rolling Stone has exclusive footage and a director Q&A to prepare you for “Springsteen & I.”
